I watched LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT yesterday. No, it's not one of her "X" rated romps, but her lone, R-rated, mainstream "comedy" (and I use that word loosely, but it's in no part the late Ms. Lovelace's fault). Monkee Mickey Dolenz definitely had bills to pay with his appearance in this one. It's bascially a failed, MAD magazine-like attempt at parodying what was happening in the United States in 1975, and a big, flaming iron poked into the face of American politics. Well, it's a bit like a flaming iron poked into the face of satire. It's funny for all of the wrong reasons, and despite the fact that half of the cast and all of the writing team went on to participate in some of the Sid & Marty Krofft kiddie concoctions of the seventies, it lacks any charm, save Ms. Lovelace who honestly looks to be having fun with the whole thing. Nearly 100 mintues of cheese, but I didn't have any bread lying around to fully appreciate it.
